Uganda pastor Martin Ssempa, a proponent of the bill that would impose penalties including death on gay people, screened gay porn in a church on Wednesday to bolster support for his position.
According to Agence France-Presse, Ssempa held the screening in an evangelical church in Kampala after authorities canceled a planned “million-man march” in support of the antigay bill.
"The major argument homosexuals have is that what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms is nobody's business, but do you know what they do in their bedrooms?" asked Ssempa of the crowd, according to AFP.
Some 300 attendees were shown a slide show of gay pornographic photos.
The pastor, known as an ally of Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren, asked for the bill to be passed by April 4, which is Easter Sunday, as “an Easter present to the people of Uganda,” according to AFP.
